<dir><font size="-1">4thpass of Seattle, Washington has recently released SourceGuard 4.0,

a Java deployment tool.



This product provides the following benefits:



Protection Against Decompilers - providing the industry's leading obfuscation.

    With its aggressive Control Flow Protection, SourceGuard 4.0

    makes it hard for decompilers to access source code.



Efficient Size Reduction For Faster Applet Downloads - with its enhanced

    reuse of symbol names and unused code Pruning features, SourceGuard

    4.0 is well suited for deploying applets on the Internet. By reducing the

    size of Java Applets, customers can enjoy faster download time and a

    richer over all Internet experience.



Custom Packaging For Embedded Applications allows Java software vendors

    to customize the deployment of their embedded applications and

    reduce the overall cost of memory constraint Internet enabled appliances.



This talk will cover the pruning and obfuscation techniques used in SourceGuard.
